8 hour milestone (not)

Thomas hit a milestone last night - he slept for 8 hours straight! and i think he would have slept for another half hour but i just had to wake him up. before this he has always done 6 hours or close to 7. wow! i mean wow, i am not sure he will repeat it tonight but it sure made me feel proud of him :)


Interesting Website
have you been to www.zillow.com? if you type in your address, it gives the current est. value of your house, as well as all the other houses in the area. if you click on "See Home Details" it gives year built, sq ft, recent sales history, property tax info and accessed land/building value. recently sold comparable homes in your area... all kinds of info. i know it is all public information, but I think this it the first website that has made it so readily available, all in one spot without having to sign up for anything. kind of addictive... i just spent the last 30 minutes looking up every single house i ever lived in, along with anyone i know that lives in a house. sorry... heh heh i am being nosy! :p

Yep, when I saw Eye on the Bay about 2 months ago and they told the viewers about Zillow, I was looking everybody up! The houses I lived in, our friends, my aunts/uncles... everybody! Yes, it's VERY ADDICTIVE! We know how much property taxes you pay! hee hee, j/k!

I just tried zillow. I can't believe so much information is available about our homes on the web! However, there are a few discrepencies. Our house square footage excludes Vijay's den. And I wonder why our neighbor, who's house is much bigger, is worth less than ours. It's not like we have a bigger lot and views of the mountains.

8 hour milestone OVER.

with the heat up of temperature, Thomas has been up every 3 hours or so. Tonight we're going to try downstairs where it's about 5 degrees cooler and see if he sleeps better.

Sara has had problems with the heat as well. Saturday night she wished me Happy Mother's Day ten minutes after midnight. Then at 3 am, 5am.. 6:30am :P

If Thomas keeps you up tonight, you can come over and feed him some donuts. I can't possibly finish them all on my own.

Mmmmmm. Donuts....

8 hour was a 1 night fluke!
